    Update via game cart: FW 20.1.1 and SD express support

    I didn’t know this, this reassures me that IF a hack does eventually come on then we would see similar patching to activate exfat like switch 1

    Update via game cart: FW 20.1.1 and SD express support

    Interestingly that's correct but not a problem switch 1 faced, as the CFW allowed the exFAT patches to be applied manually, so there's nothing to say a similar approach wouldn't work on switch 2

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    I think the only debate / question to be had is the microSD Express card update. If that can only be applied on the latest firmware then there’s an incentive to get it done asap. That said, I’ve kept my switch in the box on firmware 19.0

    PSA about SD Update

    That said, currently on the switch 1 the patch can be applied manually outside of Nintendo - there’s no evidence that any future hack for the switch 2 wouldn’t follow the same approach.

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    ive bought 2 consoles (non bundle versions) - left 1 untouched and put in the loft, the 2nd ive got Mario kart physical cart and will keep it as low as possible (until Metroid comes out) with the ExpressSD card patch applied. Best of both worlds! Can then sell one when an exploit comes out

    Nintendo Switch 2 Day One update now live alongside updates for many first party Nintendo games

    I genuinely didn’t know this, that’s great news. I’ll leave my second switch in its box then.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Day One update now live alongside updates for many first party Nintendo games

    It’s a tricky one. As if a future exploit is pushed / ran via the microsd card then you MUST install the day 1 patch to activate the SD port. If not, fast forward 2 years and an exploit drops you can’t run… Tough decision for people with 2 consoles. I guess No idea why the SD card doesn’t work...

    To be crystal clear, the day 1 patch people refer to is purely for the switch 1 game card support. You do NOT need an update to play switch 2 cards with release.

    ive seen various twitter sources comment on that the day 0 patch is NOT required to play switch 2 games. So I think option 1 in the poll is the best option (for those with multiple consoles) https://x.com/switch2stock/status/1929411077156282822?s=46

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    So I have 2 switches coming on launch day and a physical copy of Mario Kart. My plan is setup one (no internet) and try launch the physical game, see if it requires me todo some update / connect to the internet. Then keep that also offline (as long as I can until Metroid is released). Ill keep...

    Yeh I’m now super torn too, I bought 2 consoles purely to keep one locked up, but after seeing leaked retail units requiring a firmware update on day 0 to boot (check twitter you’ll see). I voted on the poll

    TheFloW releases new PPPwn kernel exploit for PS4, works on firmware 11.00

    Is it worth buying a PS4 Pro to pirate? Serious question as an Xbox gamer. Is spider man any good? (Mostly play far cry, warzone, batman, fallen order)
